:she wouldn't have gone on her little field trip to Jersey if she didn't :have faith.
Takes little faith once an angel spreads his wings and buys you tequila, hence the reasoning behind her road trip. Not to mention that she subconsciously wanted to spread for Jay.
:Habit is part of faith.
Not in all cases. Habits are done without a thought to as why they're being done. I don't THINK about wiping my ass...I just do it. Sometimes rather poorly, I might add. How I hate being human. damnit, where was I? People who have faith don't goto church because of habit, they go because they do indeed believe. And also for the wine. How I fucking LOVE drinking Christ's blood.
:And questioning tends to make it stronger....do you honestly think she :MEANT it when she said "I think God is dead?" Nah.
Absolutely. What evidence is there to the contrary? She was in a complete state of not feeling god's existence. And I also argue that if one has to question one's faith, then they never had faith to begin with. REFLECTing upon one's faith, however, is a different matter.
:And of course I can speculate on her subconscious thought processes, silly :rabbit...it's called debating a character's motivation.
Speculating is one thing, stating for a fact is another. And your initial post pointed to the latter being done.
